    3. Richard and the list, The cemeteries that are currently within the city limits of Chicago were originally in areas that were not part of the city of Chicago when the city boundaries were North Avenue, Western Avenue and 39th Street. The cemeteries were originally in areas that were annexed by Chicago. For example, Rosehill, Graceland, Wunders, St, Henry, and St. Boniface Cemeteries are all in what was once the City of Lake View which was annexed by Chicago in 1889. Oak Woods Cemetery was in the Village of Hyde Park which became part of Chicago in 1889. Bohemian National, Norwood Park, and Union Ridge Cemeteries were originally in the Town of Jefferson which was annexed to Chicago in 1872.

There are several cemeteries inside the city of Chicago. One of the major ones is Bohemian National which is right next door to NorthEastern University. There wer many Poles buried there befor St Adalberts became a cemetery and after. That University by the way has many files with records of Naturalization and Declartion Of Intents. That can be viewed by the public. They are records that belong to the State of Illinois. Richard
